Eric,
I'm skeptical. Did you receive anything in writing or see a letter from Comcast 
stating this?
It sounds more like the Comcast tech taking it on himself to say you are being 
banned.
I would call their customer service and check the status of your account, get 
something in writing if it's true, then contact your state authority that 
regulates telecoms, and file a complaint.
I've never heard of anyone being banned as a customer by Comcast.

Anyone telling you the mere presence of an antenna is the source of problem
is someone who has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

Ask them for a list of the dates, times, and durations of some of the area
wide outages and compare that information against your log book to see if
there is any correlation.

It is very likely there are other hams in your area. It could be someone
else causing the problem who may not be an Xfinity customer. If any ham
radio, or other radio transmissions, are causing their systems problems it
shows they haven't properly protected their equipment from stray RF and/or
they have a problem with an installation somewhere.
